Mortise deadlock for cylinder backset 55mm Stainless steel | GSV-No. 3801 ZR
2. February 2019The long plate GSV-No. 3594 is a precision-engineered hardware component designed specifically for the WC-side of mortise locks, offering both functional reliability and aesthetic appeal. Manufactured from high-quality brass, the plate combines durability with corrosion resistance, ensuring long-term performance even in humid environments typically associated with bathrooms or sanitary compartments.
This WC-side long plate features a robust construction with three through fixing bolts, allowing secure attachment to doors with thicknesses ranging from 35–42 mm and 43–58 mm. The inclusion of square fixing holes enhances stability during installation, providing precise alignment and a torsion-resistant fit that maintains the lock’s functionality over time. The brass material not only ensures structural integrity but also provides a visually appealing finish, complementing a wide range of interior hardware and door designs.
Designed for use with the compatible mortise lock GSV 3956, the long plate accommodates standard WC lock configurations while simplifying installation and maintenance. Its dimensions and hole positioning are engineered for optimal compatibility, ensuring that both the lock and plate operate smoothly without binding or misalignment. The through-bolt fastening system distributes stress evenly across the door surface, minimizing wear and increasing the service life of both the plate and the door.
Overall, the GSV-No. 3594 long plate provides a technically robust, durable, and visually cohesive solution for WC-side applications in mortise lock installations, ensuring reliable operation, long-term stability, and ease of maintenance in residential, commercial, and marine environments.

The hand of door for mortise locks is defined as:
if the door is closed and the hinges are visible on the right/left, then the door is right/left hand. The door is therefore hinged on the right/left and according by definition of DIN right/left.
Or: if you grasp the handle with your right hand and latch and deadbolt show to the left, then it is right hand. If you grasp the handle with your left hand latch and deadbolt show to the right, it is a left hand.
Rim locks
The hand of door for rim locks is defined as:
if the door is closed and the hinges are visible on the right/left, then the door is right /left hand. The door is therefore hinged on the right/left and according to the definition DIN “right/left".
In addition to the designation “left” and “right”, it is to be indicated whether the locks are intended for inward or outward opening doors.
Sliding door mortises
The hand of door for sliding door mortises is the same for right and left. Sliding rim door locks different for left and right doors.
When ordering, always indicate “left” or “right”.
| Latch
The lock latch keeps the door shut. In order to open the door, it must be retracted. |
| Type of latch design | Illustration |
| single latch | ![]() |
| anti-vibration or three-piece latch | ![]() |
| rolling latch adjustable | ![]() |
| POM-latch for strike dampening | ![]() |
| Deadbolt
The deadbolt regulates the access rights through the turning motion of the cylinder by key. The deadbolt is being driven out or retracted through the turning motion. |
![]() |
| Faceplate
The faceplate is the visible part of the lock case. The faceplate, the latch and the deadbolt are the only visible parts of a mortise. |
![]() |
Handle hub
The handle hub takes the square spindle of the handle in order to retract the latch inside the lock through the turning motion of the same. This process allows the opening of the door. The shipbuilding norm specifies a 9mm square with a 2° incline. Schwepper supplies also with 8mm square, special contour or 0° incline on request. |
![]() |
WC-/privacy hub
The WC hub takes the square spindle of the olive or thumb turn, that retracts or drives out the deadbolt from the inside - analogue to the turning motion of the cylinder. The shipbuilding norm specifies a 7mm square. Schwepper supplies also with 8mm square on request. |

| Dimension | Illustration | |
| Backset
The backset is the distance from the front edge of the faceplate to the center of the cylinder hole respectively handle hub square. The rear backset behind the center line remains always 27mm. |

|
| Distancing
The distancing is the dimension from the center of the handel hub and the center of the hole for profile cylinder / privacy (WC) / key. The industry standard in shipbuilding is 75mm. |

| Latch protrusion
The latch protrudes according to the industrial DIN standard in shibuilding 14mm. Other technical standards for latch protrusion are: 16 mm according to DOT (Department of Transportation) 19 mm according to USCG (US Coast Guard) |
